Mexican authorities captured Alejandro ‘N’, one of the FBI's ten most wanted fugitives, in Pachuca, Hidalgo, on January 18, 2026, during the reporting window from 9:15 PM to 10:15 PM UTC, following joint operations with the FBI responding to a North Carolina arrest warrant for a 2016 first-degree murder and kidnapping, according to a post on X by @WorldCrimeIntel. The arrest involved the Secretariat of Defense, Navy, and National Guard through targeted surveillance after Alejandro ‘N’ had resided in Pachuca since being added to the FBI's most wanted list in 2017, as stated by @WorldCrimeIntel on X. In a separate operation over the past hour in Mocorito, Sinaloa, Special Forces of the Mexican Army detained a direct collaborator of Ceferino Espinoza Angulo, known as “El Koy,” “El Koyote,” or “El 14,” according to a post on X by @aic_07 citing @crux1469. This detention in Mocorito follows earlier Sunday operations by Mexican forces in Sinaloa locations including Badiraguato, where the Army deployed a helicopter that fired on an armed group, as reported in the previous update from 7:15 PM UTC.
